We're comfortably running *three* production DSpace instances in a
single Tomcat 6 with these limits:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024M -Xms768M"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:MaxPermSize=128M"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:PermSize=32M"

That's on a box with 3GB of physical memory.  One DSpace instance is
1.6, and the other two are 1.5.

Now, I do have an old weekly reminder to check PermGen on that box,
but it is always around half filled these days.  We had problems in
the past, but newer versions of DSpace seem to do much better in that
regard.  I can't recall the last time we had to restart that Tomcat
just to clean up memory.

We have a development box with maybe two dozen DSpace instances, none
of them very busy at all, various versions and states of disrepair,
and we do have to restart Tomcat there from time to time if we are
doing a lot of webapp. reloading.  The limits there are:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024M -Xms128M"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:PermSize=192M"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -XX:MaxPermSize=384M"

on a 4GB machine.
